Wymsey Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Might as well put Steve Walsh as manager. The cash he'll earn will clear his debt...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Just stuck a tenner on Bradley at 10/1. Wanted £25 and then the same free matched bet but they limited the stake.
Max Power Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 55 pages for the boy preki If we don't appoint this clown then this will look weird in a few years time.
STUHILL Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Just stuck a tenner on Bradley at 10/1. Wanted £25 and then the same free matched bet but they limited the stake. Smart bet I reckon. I wonder if we do end up with Bradley then it's because we offered it to Klopp, Hiddink, MON, Big Sam, Laudrup etc etc and they all instantly turned us down so we ended up with our 10th choice and more out of desperation to have someone in before pre-season really starts! I definitely don't believe the Thais sacked Pearson with an eye on Bradley to take over. If this does happen, then I will back him of course but he will be on one hell of a short leash from majority of us disgruntled fans!
thybluefox Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 If it does got to Preki or Bradley I'd very much like to know who's advising the board because there's no way they got to either of those two on their own.
Dan Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 I'm thinking it probably will be Bob Bradley. Pretty sure I read about a week ago that he was going to apply for this job. I could warm to Bradley with Preki as number two more than this, but I'm still not convinced it's something that was worth binning Pearson off for.
EnglishOxide Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 This is bizarre, the only thing more bizarre would be if the owners were passing a pub at kicking out time & grabbed someone who fell out the doors & appointed them manager Bizarre, worrying QPR 5-1 will go down in history alongside Sunderland 5-2 What might have been! Hopefully this happens, and the punter turns out to be Nige!

Pretty sure similar happened when we actually brought Pearson back. Another reason that it's racist to think that the Thais might not know what they're doing.

Liamlcfc1 Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 We tried to do this before Pearsonhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2054879/Leicester-target-Kevin-Keegan-Lee-Clark-replace-Sven-Goran-Eriksson.html
Raw Dykes Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Imagine how Frank to Be feels now, he guaranteed us that the next manager would be better than Pearson. That's a pretty brave claim to make. Is there a forfeit?
Guest Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Admit it everybody, even Jurgen Klopp seemed like a far more likely signing than this, er,...fella ...whoever he is. If the thais do appoint him then we're obviously functioning as some sort of dubious money laundering outfit or a front for the mafia.
STUHILL Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Pretty sure similar happened when we actually brought Pearson back. Another reason that it's racist to think that the Thais might not know what they're doing. Racist? Never heard anything so ridiculous so I assume you are joking haha. I was buzzing for Pearson to come back and I thought most were but I could be wrong I spose. He did divide opinions. As for the Thai's not knowing what they are doing, well it does seem that way so far but will see who they appoint and how they do before do judge, as they have done a lot of good for the club and we still don't know the full reason for sacking Pearson at such a strange time. Time will tell but can see a press conference coming within next few days!!
Scotch Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 Operating under the theory that this guy is coming in as an assistant to Bradley,then surely the fact that they are moving to get the number 2, suggests that the already have number 1 (Bradley)......
TotalPreki Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Operating under the theory that this guy is coming in as an assistant to Bradley,then surely the fact that they are moving to get the number 2, suggests that the already have number 1 (Bradley)...... ...and it likely wasn't to be announced officially until the 7/13 season break in Norway... (Stabaek play their last game before break this Sunday) err, until Sacramento spun up this shitstorm with their public release on Preki's leaving and going to the top tier in england to and undisclosed team... If it's a done deal, club will likely have to announce Bradley tomorrow and unveil him next monday... not the best PR but better than letting the shitstorm of speculation continue.
smudger63 Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Feeling quite depressed at the thought of this Preki coming in, even if it`s with Bradley, it`s not filling me with much hope for the coming season! Such a massive gamble, even more so than appointing Lennon in my eyes. I was really looking forward to the coming season with a good feeling, then this! I just hope to god that this is all a misunderstanding, and doesn`t happen. One things for sure if either Preki, Bradley or both are appointed, then they need to get off to a half decent start, because they aint going to get much time from what is going to be a deflated and doubting fan base! The Euphoria of the end of last season, and that final QPR game, seems a long time ago now, and the optimistic balloon we were riding on, has well and truly burst!
benpicko Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 How does Bradley play then? Will he continue the 3-5-2?
Guest MattP Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 How does Bradley play then? Will he continue the 3-5-2? Nickel defense, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers and an extra tight end.
TotalPreki Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 How does Bradley play then? Will he continue the 3-5-2? Known as "Bobby Buckets" in yank-land, he prefers to employ an "empty bucket" tactical formation... What’s an empty bucket? Glad you asked. Empty Bucket: A derisive term invented by members of the US Men’s National Team message board on BigSoccer, used to describe a 4-4-2 set up wherein both centermids fail to go forward thereby stagnating the attack. It makes Pulis hoofball look Barca-esque... Kidding - sort of... I like Bob but I he played some boring as shit formations when in charge of the US... The empty bucket sucks.
Guest MattP Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 The only time you'll se a Yank with an empty bucket is when KFC have closed.
Jordan Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Nickel defense, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers and an extra tight end.1) Nickel defense at Stoke away, against their running game?2) PHWEEEP! *throws flag* Too many men on the field, offense, 5-yard penalty, repeat 1st down.
Mark_w Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Why do you all think we're getting Bradley? Is it just clinging on to the hope that surely, surely they can't be appointing a manager from the third tier in the states or is there some reason to think it might happen?

The USA board on BigSoccer - Not exactly the most rational place on the internet.
Guest Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Preki and Klopp used to be racquetball instructors at the same YMCA back in the 2000's. I knew there was a link somewhere...
